The lap band is a foreign object. You need to have it tightened
every so often, and they have to find the port under the skin, and
inject more saline in it to tighten it.

Everyone I know who got it, is fat again. Making the stomach
smaller can also result in getting fat again if you abuse it and fail
to watch your weight, but it is less likely, and there is no foreign
object to need removal.

There is a wealth of information on the internet. All the various
options are out there.
